<p>BC, I thought prostitutes are now replaced by Ivy league schools.</p>

102

<p>The 100 hour weeks are mostly fiction but shhhh, we need to let folks think we’re making 2 bucks an hour.</p>

<p>“The 100 hour weeks are mostly fiction but shhhh, we need to let folks think we’re making 2 bucks an hour.”</p>

<p>lol</p>

<p>That’s more than shareholders make. :)</p>

<p>[BC, I thought prostitutes are now replaced by Ivy league schools.]</p>

<p>I’d have to think about that one.</p>

<p>"The 100 hour weeks are mostly fiction but shhhh, we need to let folks think we’re making 2 bucks an hour. "</p>

<p>The Soul Of A New Machine? At least they don’t lock them in the basement and force them to work shoving coffee and pizza under the door.</p>

<p>“That’s more than shareholders make.”</p>

<p>The shareholders aren’t supposed to make anything.</p>

<p>At least that’s the plan at Citicorpse.</p>

<p>Thanks to this thread, I’m now viewing the activities of this division in a whole new light:
<a href=“http://www.gsjbw.com/?p=ClientServices[/url]”>http://www.gsjbw.com/?p=ClientServices&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I was thinking about those OTHER folks putting in 100 hours.
When I worked in I banking I DID put in 100 hours,or darned close; it was not fiction, and it was not all fun.</p>

<p>And there were no external shareholders, of my firm, it was a partnership. Which they claimed, at the time, led to more responsible management. Maybe they were right.</p>

<p>Picking up on BCEagle’s last post, what the heck are they doing in Washington? I had so much hope…</p>

108

<p>I just got kicked out of GS.</p>

<p>Well, they gave me their price,</p>

<p>and I decided there were prettier girls elsewhere for a better price.</p>

<p>(I’m not totally kidding). ;)</p>

109

<p>Maybe we need the former Governor of New York investigating these relationships.</p>

<p>“what the heck are they doing in Washington”</p>

<p>Begging for more $?</p>

<p>“I just got kicked out of GS.”</p>

<p>That’s where you worked? I’m impressed.</p>

<p>The most that I worked was 80 hours a week on a regular basis. I loved the work too. My wife and kids didn’t though.</p>

110

<p>I was a customer of GS.</p>

111

<p>Oh.</p>

<p>Where will you go instead?</p>

112

<p>Don’t know yet. Maybe just Schwab.</p>

<p>I don’t trade as much as I used too.</p>

<p>That’s why I got kicked out. ;)</p>

113

<p>I’m thinking he’ll take his business to the Chicken Ranch, Fayette county, Texas</p>

114

<p>lol…</p>

115

<p>Yes those high net worth guys are doing the big sift right now. No more Russian billionaires, broke WS high flyers, CEO’s making five figures, what’s a broker to do?</p>

<p>Mony, nah, Nevada’s in his back yard:)</p>

116

<p>Ok. Just for the record…I have never visited a prostitute and I have never taken an illegal drug.</p>

<p>Another wall street myth shattered. :)</p>

117

<p>I’m so sorry! There’s still time.</p>

<p>j/k.</p>

<p>Years ago DH and I were traveling in Asia and we met a really great couple who had made lots of money selling a company and spent their life traveling. They had just been to Thailand and they proudly told us that the wife had given the husband permission to partake in the Thai sex trade. We’ve debated on and off for years if they are the most enlightened people we’ve ever met or the craziest.</p>

118

<p>Well in that case your next move has to be: Morgan Stanley??</p>

119

<p>lol…</p>

<p>re:kicked out of GS-whoa! hope you’ll be OK in the long run!</p>
